Avon and Somerset Police say officers and PCSOs will carry out high-visibility patrols in Street High Street and at Clarks Village over the festive period.

The plan was agreed by the Street and Glastonbury Neighbourhood Policing Team on 6 November. The team says the patrols will take place "when possible" and are intended to reassure shoppers and retailers, while deterring crime.

Both police officers and Police Community Support Officers are expected to take part in foot patrols. The team says people can approach them for advice or help while they are out.

The patrols cover two of Street's busiest shopping areas as the Christmas shopping period gets under way. Police have not specified how often patrols will take place or given particular dates and times.

The Street and Glastonbury Neighbourhood Policing Team's update sets out the plan.
